When performing an upgrade, you may not want to manually reset hundreds of 
modulators from the DNCS GUI. To save time, you can create a script that resets the 
GoQAMs. Refer to the following example for a sample script. 

Important! Resetting the GoQAM interrupts all active sessions on the GoQAM for 
up to 10 minutes. Complete this task during a maintenance period whenever 
possible. 

This sample script will execute the following functions: 

 

Reset four GoQAMs 

 

After 5 minutes (300 seconds), reset another set of four GoQAMs 

Important! Use the procedure for Preparing to Monitor Remote GoQAM Resets (on 
page 20) when using an auditQam script to reset multiple GoQAMs. 

Note: You can save and re-use this script each time you need to reboot your 
GoQAMs. 

After resetting the GoQAMs, select one of the following options: 

 

For GoQAMs that carry broadcast sessions, go to Verifying the Functionality of 
GoQAM Modulators That Carry Broadcast Sessions (on page 25). 

 

For GoQAMs that carry xOD or VOD sessions, go to Verifying the Functionality 
of GoQAM Modulators That Carry xOD or VOD Sessions (on page 27).
